In Memory of Mrs. Smith.
Written for the Home Journal.
Mrs. Georgia V. Smith died at the
home of her son, J. H. Smith, at 4:40 1
o’clock Sunday evening, May 7th, in ,
Fott Valley.
Monday afternoon at 2:30 o’clock
the funeral services were conducted by
Rev. T. B. Harris at the home ot her
son.
Later the funeral services were con*
eluded in the Fort Valley cemetery,
where she was laid to rest by the side
of hor infant ohildreu.
A very largo number of friends be
sides relatives who attended the fun
eral and the profusion of beautiful
flowers on the bier were Bilent'and elo
quent tributes to tne noble character
of this good woman who had seen call-
led to her eternal reward.
Daughter of Jackson P. and Har
riett J. Pattisliall, both of Houston
county, she was born Sept. 9, 1853.
In 1806 she professed conversion to
the religion of Jesus Christ aud be
came a member of old Shilch Church
and through a life of 45 years there
after not in any dogr o did she depart
from the faith she then professed. On
November 8, 1974 Bhe was united in
marriage to Mr. Lewis L. Smith. Of
their union surviving her area hus
band and six children and one grand-
daughter,one sister and three brothers.
No tribute to the virtues of this
tiue and noble wornau could be made
too strong.
Her contributions to duty in every
phrase of life was uot in words but in
deeds, in doing good wherever she
toifnd need or opportunity, She fol
lowed the teachings of her religion,and
many there be who will rise up and
call her blessed. Where over known
her influence was for good and to thoEe
who loved her, the momory ofhorlife
will prove to be a rich heritage of
truth, faithfulness and charity iu its
noblest sense. She leaves a host ot
fiiends who deeply sympathise with
her broken hearted husband and.
children. But grieve uot, dear ones,
for she is only waiting and watching
for you to come where there will be
no more sad parting.
“A a precious one from us has gone,
A voice we loved is stilled;
A place is vacant in ourshome,
Which never can be filled.
God in His wisdom has recalled,
•‘The boom His love has given,'
Ann though the body slumbers here,
The soul is safe in Heaven.”
A Niece,
Perry, Ga.

Meeting the Boll Weevil.
A prominent Dougherty countian
who is a highly successful farmer,and
another prominent . Dougherty
countian who is a successful manager
of an oil mill, are going to Texas to
study conditions in the cotton fields
where the boll weevil, has been at its
worst for several years. They will
spend several weeks there, and when
they get back to Albany they will
know, ahead of the boll weevil’s com
ing, what the farmers of Texas, Louis
iana and Mississippi have had to
learn through costly experience.
This heading off of the weevil ought
•to be worth a great deal to this sec
tion summsr after next, or whenever
the most formidable of all cotton pests
reaches this part of the country. It
will do no good to attempt to keep the
weevil out of southwest Georgia. All
such measures have ignominously
j failed wherever they have been in-
j troduced. The farmers only chance
1 is in planting and cultivating Ins
crops along lines that give the boll
weevil his poorest oppoitunilies. The
pest cannot he destroyed outright, but
it can be discouraged and handi
capped by methods which have been
tried with almost unfailing success.
The Dougherty contains who visit
Texas will be able to bring back first
hand knowledge worth many thous
and!? of dollars to the planters of this
section, and, incidentally, to all other
interests and classes.—Albany Her
ald.
Egyptian Cootton Again.
Again the story comes to the fore
that an effort will bo made to raise
Egyptian cotton in the Western stalls.
A Washington dispatcti says although
exporiraenu were made at different
points from South; Carolina to Texas
as well as in Western Texas, New
Mexico, Arizona and Southern Cali
fornia, it was only in the Colorado
River region that climatic and other
conditions similar to those in the Nile
Valley, and suited to the long staple
Egyptian cotton, were found. There
600,000 acres of excellent land are,
or soon will bo, under ditch in the Im
perial, Yuma, Salt and Gila valleys,
and one fifth of this acreage could pro
duce the amount of Egyptian cotton
aupually imported for tlio use of New
England mills. The amount of Egyp
tian cotton required by this country
annually is 60,000,000 pounds, valu
ed at §16,000,000.
One of the objections to the impor-
ed Egypiain cotton is its mixture with
the Hindu cotton. This is a name
applied to an undesirable article 01 a
snort, weak fibre that injures the
genuine Egyptain g-adeby creating
a hybrid. If the culture iuthiscouu-
try proves successful the Hindu con
tamination will be eliminated. —
Macon Telegraph.
Georgia farmers ought to learn
everything that is to be learned about
the cotton boll weevil, Indore the
pest reaches this state. Had Tex is,
Mississippi and Louisiana known, at
the outset of the contest with the post,
what they know now, those states
would have been able to save a lt^rge
part of what has been lost through the
boll weevil’s depredations. It is com.,
paratively easy for Georgia farmers
to learn, before the weevil reaches
:jjhis state, what Ter.as, Mississippi aud
Louisiana have gained through ex
perience, and it isn’t any too early to
begin right now.

No wonder the race problem is so bard
to solve if that is the trouble with it.
